Answer:

a) ethanol is dehydrated by concentrated sulphuric acid to yield ethene

b) Concentrated phosphoric(V) acid, H3PO4, can be used instead of sulphuric acid

Explanation:

Ethene is prepared in the lab by heating ethanol with concentrated sulphuric acid at 170°C. The mixture contains 1:2 volume ratio of the ethanol and concentrated acid. Ethylhydrogentetraoxosulphate VI is first formed and then decomposes to yield ethene and sulphuric acid.

The overall reaction is akin to the dehydration of ethanol. As is easily seen above; this is a two stage reaction. The first stage is the formation of the ester, the second stage involves the dehydration of the ester to yield ethene. The ethene gas is passed through concentrated sodium hydroxide to remove any gaseous impurities present and then it is collected over water.

Concentrated phosphoric(V) acid, H3PO4, can be used instead of concentrated sulphuric acid as a dehydrating agent in the laboratory preparation of ethene.

Calculate the volume in liters of a M barium chloride solution that contains of barium chloride . Round your answer to significa
Reptile [31]

Answer:

1.667L of a 0.30M BaCl₂ solution

Explanation:

<em>Of a 0.30M barium chloride, contains 500.0mmol of barium chloride.</em>

<em />

Molarity is an unit of concentration used in chemistry defined as the moles of solute present in 1 liter of solution.

In a 0.30M BaCl₂ solution there are 0.30 moles of BaCl₂ in 1 liter of solution.

Now, in your solution you have 500mmol of BaCl₂ = 0.500 moles of BaCl₂ (1000 mmol = 1 mol). Thus, 0.500 moles of BaCl₂ are present in:

0.500 moles * (1L / 0.30 moles) =

<h2>Answer:</h2>

Plasma

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Plasma is the stuff of lightning, flame and stars. Plasma is neither solid, liquid nor gas plasma is a fourth state of matter.

Plasma is when the electrons are "freed" from their host atoms for a short time, due to high temperatures. Fire is plasma, it responds to electric fields. Lightning is also plasma.
